Wheel arch extensions....iva ok?

Could I have your thoughts on my wheel arch extensions....I've just lightly secured them for now, but basically it's a strip of carbon with runner edging....can any one see a reason why these would fail...biggest concern is the radius of the edging enough....please see latest blog post for pics.

There is an escape clause the inspectors use, that is, if it looks like a temporary addition that will obviously be taken off at a later date and when removed would expose a problem then no. Can you honestly say to us that is not the case?

Honestly....yes, I can say this is not the case...I really like the look of the flared arches, plus they will be fixed using around 6 nuts and bolts, and probably sealed in with some sikaflex to finish them off....honest guv.

She thinks it looks great ;-)

So, I did manage to do a little bit more work on this last night......here is how it looks. My main concern now is the edge of the wheelarch and is that ok for IVA....Building a J15, you don't really have to worry about sharp radiused edges as they are such a smooth shape....Can someone clarify if this will be ok?.
